Let me tell you a little bit about Rachel and Christine. I couldn't have just one Maid of Honor because I have two special friends in my life. So I have Rachel as my Matron of Honor, and Christine as my Maid of Honor. Alexis is my bridesmaid, Alysha is my Junior bridesmaid, and Hannah is my flower girl. I feel that those are all just titles and all of these people are very special to me. That's why I asked them to be in my wedding :) Anyhow, lets start with Rachel. I have known Rachel since the seventh grade. We have been really close ever since. We met in seventh grade home-room. It's funny because except for home-room, I don't think we ever took any other classes together through out school. We had a a lot of fun in high school. We hung out with a close knit group: Rachel, Jamie, Leslie, and I. After high school, most of my friends moved away and we lost touch. It seems like Rachel and I were the only ones that stuck around Sacramento. I'm glad though because we have been able to share so much in each others lives. I have been around to watch Rachel get married and have three kids, and a step daughter and become very successful in her career as an engineer. Rachel has been around to see me graduate from ARC, and have Ryan, and help me plan a wedding. When I was in Rachel's wedding, I told her "If I ever get married I want you to be my Matron of Honor." And now that time has come :) I'm so happy to have her here to share in this special day with me. Christine is another special friend of mine. I've known Christine for about six years now. We met through a mutual friend, and I reccomended a job in dialysis to her. We have been friends and have worked together in a few different dialysis units over the years. When I met Christine she had this cute, cute, cute little six month old baby girl. That little girl is Hannah, she just turned seven in May. She is going to be my flower girl. She is a good kid, and a smart kid too. Christine makes me laugh. We have a good friendship because we can laugh so much together. When we get together we are worse that two little kids giggling over the dumbest stuff. But we have fun and that's what's best about it. Before I met Jeff, Christine and I hung out together a lot. I can think of many fun times I spent with Christine. One time we went to Santa Cruz for the weekend. We went to a few bars at night, during the day we went to the beach, rode some of the roller coasters, played video games, just had fun. Then Jeff came into my life. HAHAHA. Poor Christine, I should be suprised she still talks to me :) When Jeff moved into town, I dropped her like a hot potatoe and started spending all my time with Jeff. I was in love, what can I say? :) Luckily, Christine is a good friend. We don't go out drinking like we used to when I was single, but our friendship has remained good. Christine was so helpful when I was pregnant. She helped me through mood swings, and food cravings. She even threw a really nice baby shower for me before I had Ryan. Christine is a good friend because she always makes me laugh, listens to me whine when I need to whine and nobody else will listen, and is an over all awesome person. But watch out when we are both PMSing at the same time and are stuck in the same room together for twelve hours at a time at work!!!! Can you say "MEOW!!!!" :) HAHAHA But since we are such good friends we can get over it pretty fast. That's why Christine is my Maid of Honor. Her and Rachel are my two closet friends and I needed them both to have a special role in my wedding.
